Motherhood

That is a saying my mom has always said when we learn about something terrible or tragic happening. Why do some people face such awful hardships and adversity? Only God knows. This week, my cousin introduced me to a little girl named Emma. She is the beautiful 9 month old daughter of her college friend. […]

Happy 4th of July!
